Watch Kellyanne Conway's Kellywise Eat Up Attention on 'SNL'

Adding to the fun is Pennywise's shape-shifting abilities being put to good use, with McKinnon briefly transforming into another of her best known impressions, that being Trump's 2016 opponent Hillary Clinton.

As Cooper and Kellywise engage in a back-and-forth, she cajoles him to continue talking to her: "Wait, don't go! I'll give you a insane, crazy quote". Although Cooper doesn't believe it at first, he eventually succumbs and gets his arm bitten off by Kellywise.

The sketch opens with Anderson Cooper (played by Alex Moffat), commenting on a statement from Conway, and when a producer mentions that she's available for comment, he asks "are we that desperate?"

Pennywise follows that up with another soundbite: "OK, so, Secretary Tillerson did not call the president a moron". Instead, this was a brilliant parody of the way that left-wing shows thrive on outrageous quotes from people like Conway, just as right-wing shows live for hyperbolic tweets from left-wing college professors.

'What did you do to your makeup?' Cooper, visibly shaken asks and Conway tells him she 'toned it down'.

Meanwhile, poor CNN anchorman Anderson Cooper ("Hey Coopy!") never really stood a chance, especially once he has been shown his worst fears. a second term for Trump. He warns "Cooper" against talking to Kellywise. "Every day, she drags somebody into that sewer, down there where the doodies are".
